Except that a tree-view perfectly fits what I was proposing: 
Illustrating the hierarchy of compilation units in the project (by the 
parent-child relationship). This could easily be a form of navigation 
tied to the structure of the project.

I'm not saying that call-graphs and dependency-graphs and other such 
organizational views aren't needed/wanted/necessary, just that this 
particular one isn't. (You could argue that the file-view panel does, 
but like the post I initially replied to observed, that gets 
useless/frustrating as more and more portions of the file name become 
more and more similar as you go deeper into the hierarchy.)
